MOTHERHOOD STATEMENT: The significance of a discovery is revealed in its effect on the individual, society and
interpersonal relationships and consequently generates new ideas, values and ways of thinking.
The impact of discovery is felt in all levels of social interaction and changes our perspective of
the world.

Discoveries have the ability to influence society, relationships and individual people, resulting in
the reassessment of previous attitudes and assumptions. The impact of discovery is evident is our
perspective of ourselves and the world in which we live.

‘The Tempest’ thesis statement: The emergence of a new relationship can be a catalyst for the discovery process. *

One discovery may provoke another, leading to the re-evaluation of power and relationships. ^

‘Animal Farm’ thesis statement: Discoveries have the ability to reform social structure and political power in society. +

Discoveries of superficial objects, inventions and concepts reveal the inherent immorality and
licentiousness of mankind, therefore changing society to value depravity and oppression. ~

‘Jasper Jones’ thesis statement: The accidental discovery of the truth can be a negative, unwanted experience and can alter the
power in a familial relationship.
